Definitions

  • These low-frequency vibrations may be dampened, for example, by correcting the amounts of fuel to be injected into the individual cylinders.
  • Such an apparatus for dampening the vibrations includes, for example, a regulator which, in dependence on rapid torque changes, varies a predetermined desired fuel value in such a manner to keep these torque changes at a minimum possible level.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a smooth-running regulating arrangement for an internal combustion engine
  • FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of the smooth-running regulating arrangement of FIG. 1;
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 are diagrams showing various possibilities to incorporate the smooth-running regulating arrangement into an existing fuel-metering appartus.
  • FIG. 6 shows the blocks supplied by the smooth-running regulating arrangement of FIG. 1 wherein these blocks are supplemented with a multiplier and a threshold to make the apparatus according to the invention effective only in a definite, pre-supposable rotational engine speed range and to be controlled in the transition ranges bounding on this range so as to avoid a jump-like climb or drop of the correcting signal.
  • reference numeral 10 identifies a smooth-running regulating arrangement for an internal combustion engine.
  • the regulating arrangement includes a number z regulating units 11, 12 and 13, with z denoting the number of cylinders that the internal combustion engine has.
  • smooth-running regulating arrangement 10 includes z memory storage units 14, 15 and 16, two synchronizing devices 17 and 18, as well as a device 19 for forming a mean value.
  • FIG. 1 also shows an idle-speed regulator 20, a control unit 21 which is dependent on the position of the accelerator pedal, a fuel-metering apparatus 22, and the internal combustion engine 23.
  • the z regulating units 11, 12 and 13 are connected to their associated z memory storage units 14, 15 and 16, respectively, and to the output of mean-value device 19.
  • Device 19 has applied to its input the output signals from all z memory storage units 14 to 16.
  • the inputs of the z memory storage units 14 to 16 are connected to synchronizing device 17; whereas, the outputs of the z regulating units 11 to 13 are connected to synchronizing device 18.
  • the two synchronizing devices 17 and 18 are activated by a signal dependent on the internal combustion engine 23.
  • Internal combustion engine 23 is connected to fuel-metering control apparatus 22 which, in turn, is connected to synchronizing device 18, idle-speed regulator 20 and accelerator-dependent control unit 21.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the timing diagram of a four-cylinder internal combustion engine. It shows the time span covering two crankshaft revolutions, that is, a crank angle of 720° . In this time span, each one of the four cylinders has experienced one combustion.
  • I and J identify two actual-value signals that are generated by means of a segmented wheel 9.
  • This wheel 9 is connected with the crankshaft and has four segments symmetrically spaced over its periphery.
  • Each pulse of the actual-value signal J corresponds to one wheel segment.
  • the length of each pulse of actual-value signal J corresponds to the length of time a segment of the wheel takes to traverse an imaginary plane perpendicular to the segmented wheel 9. Since four segments of the wheel traverse the imaginary plane during one crankshaft revolution, yet with only two combustions occurring in the cylinders during this time, it is exactly two segments of the wheel that traverse the imaginary plane perpendicular to the wheel between two combustions. Accordingly, the time span between two combustions is subdivided into two time periods by means of these two wheel segments.
  • these two time periods are always of different magnitude. Therefore, the shorter one of the two time periods, for example, J21, will always indicate that a combustion has occurred; whereas, the longer one of the two time periods, for example, J22, will indicate that a combustion is about to occur.
  • the actual-value signal J thus permits an accurate determination of the simulated combustion time points V of the individual cylinders, which are also referred to as synchronizing signals.
  • the timing diagram of FIG. 2 shows the combustion time points V of the individual cylinders and their relationship to the actual-value signal J.
  • the determination of the combustion time points V from actual-value signal J is performed in the two synchronizing devices 17 and 18 of FIG. 1.
  • synchronizing device 17 directs the actual values I1, I2 and Iz to their associated memory storage units 14, 15 and 16, respectively; whereby, these actual values I1, I2 to Iz are likewise generated by synchronizing device 17 with the aid of actual-value signal J.
  • Actual values I1, I2 to Iz reflect the durations of time between two combustion time points, as illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • synchronizing device 18 determines, with the aid of actual-value signal J, the simulated combustion time points V and switches the correcting quantities S1, S2 and Sz formed by regulating units 11, 12 and 13, respectively, to fuel-metering apparatus 22 as correcting signal S.
  • Correcting signal S is illustrated in the timing diagram of FIG. 2. It is made up of correcting quantities S1, S2 to Sz of the individual cylinders, these quantities being generated by the regulating units corresponding thereto.
  • correcting quantity S1 is produced by regulating unit 11 from actual value I1 buffered in memory storage unit 14 and a mean value Mz.
  • Mean value Mz is formed by mean-value device 19 from all buffered actual values I1, I2 to Iz.
  • the internal combustion engine is at time T as illustrated in the timing diagram of FIG. 2: first, a combustion occurs in cylinder 2 in this instant; second, synchronizing device 17 delivers actual value I1, that is, the duration of time between the combustion in cylinder 1 and the combustion in cylinder 2, to memory storage unit 14; and, third, synchronizing device 18 directs correcting quantity S3 to fuel-metering apparatus 22 for the next combustion in cylinder 3.
  • This switching of correcting quantity S3 takes place a short time after T to enable the associated regulating unit to adjust this new correcting quantity. As a result, this new correcting quantity is dependent on all preceding actual values.
  • the entire smooth-running regulating arrangement 10 produces from an actual-value signal I obtained by means of a segmented wheel, a correcting signal S for input into the fuel-metering apparatus 22.
  • a correcting signal S for input into the fuel-metering apparatus 22.
  • further inputs from an idle-speed regulator 20 and/or an accelerator-dependent control unit 21, for example, may also influence the apparatus 22.
  • Fuel metering apparatus 22 uses these input signals for determination of, for example, the quantity of fuel to be injected into the internal combustion engine 23.
  • the regulating units 11 to 13 and the idle-speed regulator 20 may be integral-action regulators, for example, the case may occur that these two integral-action components operate in opposition to each other.
  • the smooth-running regulating arrangement 10 it is necessary for the smooth-running regulating arrangement 10 to be incorporated into the entire injection system of the internal combustion engine. This is possible, for example, because the smooth-running regulating arrangement 10 can only dynamically influence the entire injection system. For this dynamic influence, it is then necessary for the sum of the correcting quantities S1 to Sz to be equal to zero, that is, the mean-fuel quantity which, as a result of the smooth-running regulation, is delivered to the internal combustion engine as a decrement or as an increment, must be zero taken over z injections.
  • This requirement for incorporation of the smooth-running regulating arrangement 10 into the entire injection system may be met, for example, by means of one of the modifications of the smooth-running regulating arrangement shown in FIGS. 3 to 5.
  • FIG. 3 shows the block diagram of a part of the smooth-running regulating arrangement.
  • the smooth-running regulating arrangement is incorporated into the entire injection system by subtracting the mean value of correcting signal S from the output signals of the integrators of the regulating units corresponding to the individual cylinders.
  • regulating unit 11 includes an integrator 30, a proportional member 31, two subtracting points 32 and 33, and an adding point 34.
  • the input signals I1 and Mz applied to regulating unit 11 first are combined at subtracting point 32.
  • the output signal of subtracting point 32 is fed to integrator 30 and proportional member 31.
  • the output signal of proportional member 31 is connected to adding point 34 which also has the output signal of subtracting point 33 applied to its input.
  • This output signal of subtracting point 33 is generated from the output signal of the integrator 30 on the one hand and from the mean value of correcting signal S on the other hand.
  • the output signal of adding point 34 represents the correcting quantity S1 which is supplied to synchronizing device 18.
  • the output signal of synchronizing device 18 is the correcting signal S which is fed to a device 35 for forming a mean value.
  • the output signal of device 35 is indicative of the mean value of correcting signal S.
  • the mean value device 35 may be a low-pass filter, for example.
  • correcting signal S is not only fed back to regulating unit 11 but also to regulating units 12 and 13 corresponding to the other cylinders. Feeding correcting signal S back to all regulating units 11 to 13 of smooth-running regulating arrangement 10 causes the mean value of the correcting signal to be equal to zero over z combustions.
  • the incorporation of the smooth-running regulating arrangement into the entire injection system is accomplished by subtracting the mean value of the integrators of the regulating units corresponding to the individual cylinders from the output signals of these integrators of the individual regulating units.
  • regulating unit 11 includes an integrator 40, a proportional member 41, two subtracting points 42 and 43 and an adding point 44.
  • Input signals I1 and Mz applied to regulating unit 11 are combined in subtracting point 42.
  • the output signal of subtracting point 42 is fed to integrator 40 and proportional member 41.
  • the output signal of integrator 40 is then connected to a summing point 45 receiving in addition the output signals of the integrators of the regulating units corresponding to the other cylinders.
  • the output signal of summing point 45 is applied to a mean-value device 46 for forming a mean-value signal.
  • the output signal of mean-value device 46 is connected to connecting node 47. Node 47 is connected to all regulating units corresponding to the individual cylinders.
  • connecting node 47 is connected to subtracting point 43 which has also the output signal of the integrator 40 applied to it.
  • Adding point 44 is connected to the output signal of subtracting point 43 on the one hand and to the output signal of proportional member 41 on the other hand.
  • the output signal of adding point 44 represents the correcting quantity S1.
  • FIG. 5 shows another embodiment for incorporating the smooth-running regulating arrangement into the entire injection system.
  • the mean value of the correcting quantities of the regulating units corresponding to the individual cylinders is subtracted from the output signal of the integrators of these regulating units.
  • regulating unit 11 includes, for example, an integrator 50, a proportional member 51, two subtracting points 52 and 53, and an adding point 54.
  • Input signals I1 and Mz applied to regulating unit 11 are combined in subtracting point 52.
  • the output signal of subtracting point 52 is then fed to integrator 50 and proportional member 51.
  • the output signal of integrator 50 is connected to subtracting point 53, and the output signal of the proportional member 51 is connected to adding point 54.
  • adding point 54 has applied to its input the output signal of subtracting point 53.
  • the output signal of adding point 54 represents the correcting quantity S1.
  • Correcting quantity S1 is applied to an adding point 57 to which further the correcting quantities of the regulating units corresponding to the other cylinders are connected.
  • the output signal of adding point 57 is applied to a device 56 for forming a mean value.
  • the output signal of mean-value device 56 is connected to a connecting node 55.
  • All the regulating units corresponding to the individual cylinders are connected to this node 55 as shown, for example, with reference to regulating unit 11 where connecting node 55 is connected to subtracting point 53. Because the mean value of the correcting quantities of the regulating units corresponding to the individual cylinders is thus fed back to the output signals of the integrators of these regulating units, a purely dynamic action of the smooth-running regulating arrangement is achieved, that is, the correcting signal S is equal to zero over z combustions.
  • the smooth-running regulating arrangement described With the smooth-running regulating arrangement described, vibrations of the vehicle are to be avoided only in the lower engine speed range, particularly at idling. This is accomplished by arranging for the smooth-running regulation to become effective only within a specific speed range.
  • the transition areas between the range in which the smooth-running regulation is active and the speeds at which it is inactive may be covered, for example, by means of a control of the smooth-running regulating arrangement.
  • Block 25 is a muliplier for multiplying the correcting signal S by a factor k in the range 0 ⁇ k ⁇ 1 depending on the engine speed.
  • Block 24 is the threshold for engine speed.
  • the actual-value signal that is, the duration of time between two combustions, was determined by means of the segmented wheel. It is also possible to generate a speed signal by means of a fast tachometer generator or by means of a toothed wheel with a pulse generator and frequency voltage converter connected in series therewith.
  • An actual-value signal for the smooth-running regulating arrangement can be generated by integration of this speed signal from injection to injection or from synchronizing pulse to synchronizing pulse. Still another possibility for generation of the actual-value signal would be to make an evaluation of the peak value of the speed signal between two injection quantities.
  • the combustion time points necessary for providing the actual-value signal are determined by subdividing the time period between two combustions into two time portions. Since it may be desirable to have the transfer of the actual-value signal to the memory storage units and/or the transfer of the correcting quantities to the fuel-metering apparatus not occur at precisely one combustion time point, it is possible to extend the smooth-running regulating arrangement described by means of a counter such that the counter is reset by a reference signal, for example, by a needle-stroke pulse, a pulse indicative of the commencement of injection or a pulse indicative of the commencement of combustion, et cetera, and drives the two synchronizing devices at specific predeterminable counter readings.
  • the counter may then count up in dependence on engine speed and deliver the synchronizing pulses to the two synchronizing devices at specific counter readings, or it counts up at a fixed frequency and determines the synchronizing time points in dependence on engine speed. It is also possible for the counter to be reset on each synchronizing pulse and on each reference pulse.
  • the four segments of the wheel were evenly spaced over the wheel periphery.
  • the time between two combustions was subdivided into a short time duration and a long time duration.
  • the wheel segments may be of asymmetrical configuration. In the case of the smooth-running regulating arrangement described with reference to a four-cylinder internal combustion engine, this would mean that only two opposite segments are of the same length. This asymmetrical configuration has no influence on the determination of the actual-value signal I because the actual-value signal I represents the time period between two combustions which covers two segments.
  • the segmented wheel subdivides the time between two combustions into a short time duration and a long time duration. The case may now occur that noise signals of a frequency lower than the injection frequency are superimposed upon these time periods. An even alternation of short and long time durations is thus no longer warranted.
  • the synchronizing devices will then determine whether one time duration is longer than the preceding and the following one, thus performing a maximum time check.
  • a synchronizing counter which is incremented by unity at the end of each time duration is always checked when the maximum time check has established a long time duration, for example. If the synchronizing is correct, the ends of the long time durations will always coincide with odd synchronizing counter readings, for example.
  • Error functions may also be detected by a subtraction of the two last time durations. In dependence on the result of such a subtraction, a value is written into a shift register. A comparison of the values held in the shift register with predetermined values permits errors to be detected and suitably corrected. The size of the shift register and the predetermined values characterizing the error functions have to be determined experimentally.
  • the correcting signal S was supplied to the fuel-metering apparatus 22 or control apparatus 22a in a FIG. 6 which then influences the amount of fuel to be injected internal combustion engine, for example. It is to be understood that the correcting signal S may also be used to influence other control quantities of the internal combustion engine directly or indirectly, as for example, exhaust gas recirculation, start of injection, duration of injection, air/fuel ratio, ignition point, et cetera by means of control apparatus 22a in FIG. 6.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 may be implemented using an analog circuit configuration, for example. It is particularly advantageous to implement the smooth-running regulating arrangement described and, where applicable, further control and/or regulating arrangements for fuel metering by means of a suitably programmed microprocessor, for example. However, when utilizing such a computer, the block diagrams illustrated may no longer be recognizable, having been replaced by subroutine structures, time-division multiplex methods, et cetera.
  • the smooth-running regulating arrangement described is suitable for use in internal combustion engines operating pursuant to various different operating principles, including internal combustion engines with auto ignition, with spark ignition, et cetera.
  • this arrangement it is particularly advantageous that, in dependence on the operating principle of the internal combustion engine, the regulating unit corresponding to each cylinder of the internal combustion engine influences several control quantities of the internal combustion engine directly or indirectly.
